Re: GHC 8.0.1-rc4 source tarball availability

(NB: i would like any folks who don't have a gcc6 dylib as i mention above to please stress test it out :) ), though it didn't seem to interfere with builds when i deleted gcc6 and had it go through its paces On Sat, Apr 23, 2016 at 8:05 PM, Carter Schonwald < carter.schonwald@gmail.com> wrote:

I'll try to collect my thoughts and tease out what did/didn't work tomorrow, in the mean time, here's a build I believe should work for everyone on mac and should have full docs,

one niggling issue is that, at least based upon the output of otool -L, the builds point to /usr/local/lib/gcc/6/libgcc_s.1.dylib (my userland GCC leaking through) and I *believe* but could be wrong that its better to have it point to /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib or something? otoh, the otool -L output of those respective things are VERY different

I will investigate that further, though its orthogonal to my doc building confusion that I still need to work out what happened with

Thomie (Thomas M?) pointed out that there may have been a "are-validating" make file in my /mk/ dir that could have been messing with things.

i've gotten a build i'm happy with, i'm now seeing if i can tweak it to have the otool -L output favor stuff in /usr/lib (ie mac standard stuff) vs userland overlays for some basic linker stuff

Could you elaborate a bit here?

If there are manual tweaks applied to the build then we need to make sure they are documented (or ideally scripted, with the script in a publicly accessible, version controlled location), especially if we want to offer your build in some "official" capacity.
